My informationt that there's no easy way to modify TM's shourcuts and behaviour of built-in functions has been removed. I disagree - I've asked about things like indentation using Tab key or prefilling search with selected text on Cmd+F - the answer was that these things can't be done and I should stick to built-in shortcuts. --unsigned comment by user:84.92.248.233

A note was added by an anonymous user that (s)he could get right-to-left languages working in TextMate. As the TextMate developer has said that this doesn't work, I took the claim out, but I would like to hear more if in fact that is the case. -- jacobolus (t) 23:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I believe that right-to-left support will be in the 2.0 release which is directed as a Leopard only release. It will use native APIs that can utilise localised character sets. Nighty5 13:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Does TextMate support dragging text? I know e (the Windows port of TextMate) does not, but e doesn't support code folding, either. — Brianary 16:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
> the point of adding a GUI is not to match "look and feel".
I have not claimed that at all. The sentence, as it is now, does not assert that all a text editor needs to make it "simple and ellegant" is a GUI, but that it is the case with a macintosh GUI only. It also doesnt state that the editor is "simple and elegant", but that its just the Macintosh GUI that makes it that way.
> The point is that the GUI *is* simpler for users to navigate than a purely textual interface.
As I said, I have not disputed that.
> "Elegance" is a bit harder to quantify, as it is very subjective, but again,
So it should not be mentioned in a general description of a text editor.
> if you like, I can give you dozens of quotes about the elegance of the Macintosh, especially as compared to textual interfaces.
And I can on the other side give you dozens of dozens of articles statin the contrary. This issue _IS_ a matter of the point of view, so it should be described more neutrally. -- Rhun 12:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Regarding my edit changing "its basic feature set has a steeper learning curve than simpler graphical editors" to "its basic feature set may require more learning...", which was subsequently undone by Jacobolus:
The reason "a steeper learning curve" is ambiguous is that it can be interpreted to mean two completely opposite things. Strictly speaking, a steep learning curve implies fast learning (the curve plots proficiency over time) and so is a good thing. But many (probably most) people think it means that something is hard to learn. Given this ambiguity, I think it's best to avoid the term altogether. Forlornturtle 10:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
It provides users with innovative abstractions to support declarative customizations which are at once transparent and flexible.

Hi. Courtesy warning... I intend to remove the "Limitations" section of the article. I'll explain my rationale for why it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia.
Thanks for listening. If anyone feels strongly that some limitations of TextMate need to be in the article, then those notable limitations can be put into the regular part of the article along with a reliable source. -- Ds13 ( talk) 17:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

A permissive software license allows more things to be done with the software by the user. A permissive license that also compels future developers to be similarly permissive is more permissive, not less. A license that allows future developers to be less permissive - in other words allowing them to falsely claim certain exclusive rights over public property - is a less permissive license.
